Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1887-02-22

The ArgonauS fayors lottery Tor
California to keep the money at
home, and prints the following:
Every newspaper in the city ad-
vertises lottery drawings. The
Call and Chronicle are just now in
lively competition over the prize
announcement, and the Call. with
that fearless enterprise which char
acterizes all it's business operations,
has distanced its rival with A ,298
daily circulation, by causing the
prize list of the Louisiana Lottery
to be telegraphed from the city of
New Orleans. Scarcely week
passes that some Individual charity
does not make its appeal for the
sale of tickets for some article to
be ratified off, Every holy Mother
Church goes regularly into the
business. The last effort in this
direction comes to us from Bailey
Jamesduff, ireland, in aid of con-
vent school, and is under the i'm
mediate patronage of the Lord
Bishop of Kilmore, the most rev.
ereud DIR. Bernard Finegan. 1t 10
announced to be "Grand Bazaar
and Drawing of Prizes" The
series Of tickets held by MS. sent
gratuitously and in part of this
first-class notice, IS numbered &c.,
903, so we presume that one mil
lion Of tickets were issued attwenty-
FIVE cents each. The following
letter from the good Bishop Fine
gan accompanies the ticket:
CULLIEs HOUSE, Gavin, June2S, Sc.
1t is with much pleasure that
the first charity / have to recon-
mend to the faithful at home and
abroad, since / became bishop, is
that Of the Convent of Ballyjames-
duff. The community, one OF the
most excellent in Ireland, and
worthy Of the holy time of st.
Bridget, has contracted a heavy
debt in the erection of q convent
and schools. With confidence
they appeal to the never failing
generosity of the children of st.
Patrick at home and abroad, to
those who. love the old land, its
faith and religious institutions so
dearly. All who contribute will
have merit for providing home
for the spouses Of Christ, will par
ticipate in the graces given
to them, and will partake of the re-
ward of the sanity lives led by
them, and will have prayers said
and masses offered for their spirit
ual and temporal welfare on earth,
and to the end Of time for their re-
pose and everlasting happiness.

Then the good Sister Patrick

confidential note, which we publish

the money:
